    He should. Imho it was very clear that getting out of the ring on his shield vs fury took a toll that was way way way too high. He is not the same anymore and he will never be. Boxing is a merciless sport, you can lose 8-2 playing football and comeback next year, you cant do that in boxing. A massive beating getting out of the ring on your shied ruins your career. That's why no-freanking-body "plays" boxing, it's not a game at all.

    I know, that's why I quoted the post where you said he faced Parker and Zhang and said that's the only risk he's ever taken.

    Taking on Fury turned out to be a bad career move. He should have faced AJ for more money

    Rumor is Wilder is going to stop fighting to become a trainer. He wants to teach his skills to the next generation of fighters. .

    Why would the undisputed champion fight him? He is not a mandatory, he is not a top contender, he lost 4 of his last 5 fights. Widler is done, he is irrelevant.

    Have you seen an NBA fight in the last decade......that is the level of fighters Wilder has built his brand on. This isn't the 80s or 90s NBA....these boys get ejected laughing at the referee on the bench (Tim Duncan). There's probably 4 or 5 guys in that entire league who's ever thrown a punch. Even less can probably take a punch......lol.

    It's called exaggeration to prove a point, man. Don't take it too seriously.

    Hey little lady..... do you see the "lol" at the end of my post..... That means "Laugh out Loud"......... In other words, I'm having fun with this subject. Only thing evident of someone taking something "too seriously" is you in response to me making fun of how soft the NBA has become compared to 30 years ago.

    Calm down.

    Wilder is done. Hrgovic is done. Dubois looks like the real deal and belongs in the mix. Zhang is limited but dangerous.

    Last night night's matches answered some questions.

    That's what happens when contenders fight each other.

    Hrgovic looked like he'd been training in a lazy boy recliner.

    Wilder just looked like a completely shot fighter.

    I hate the fact that no one is actually talking about how small wilder is, even smaller than usyk. He should move to brigderweight and retire undisputed, he might even get lucky to get an usyk fight in the division

    I would like to see him derail the Anderson hype train before floating off into the sunset.

    I think Wilder loses to Anderson at this point, not that I am an Anderson fan or anything.
